Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5000 Francs Guinéens (Echnaton) 1970 coin from Guinea is that it features an image of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, also known as Echnaton, on its obverse side. Akhenaten was known for his attempts to introduce monotheistic worship of the sun god Aten and for his radical changes to Egyptian art and architecture. The coin's design serves as a nod to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and its influence on the wider African continent.
